Default Blew my tranny again!!!!

So blew up my tranny again. 3rd and 4th gear don't go in. So this time I'm going to rebuild my tranny instead of buying a factory one again. Also I had a B&M shifter and thinkin of changing for a 5.0 shiter? This is the 2nd tranny I blew up with these shifter. Can it be the shifter or are the t56 factory tranny's weak?

sounds like a drill mod issue, 3rd and 4th are usually the victims of the clutch.

Combined with a factory T-56 (aluminum 3-4 shift fork), it's no wonder it fails first.

First, get it rebuilt at sixspeed inc, or at the least grab their 700hp stage 1 kit.

Second, grab newer 01-02 hydraulics as a precaution and do the drill mod to the braided line. www.installuniversity.com for how to do the drill mod.
